and honeysuckle." THE EPERQUERIE. Above the shoulder of the hill to the left, JETHOU just appears; the larger island with the long painted beak is HERM, with her string of islets like a fleet of ships speeding to the north. The lower of the two out-jutting headlands is where the Herm men landed. The higher is BEC DU NEZ, the most northerly point of SARK. IN THE CLEFT OF A ROCK. BELOW BEAUMANOIR. "And in Sercq, the headlands were great soft cushions of velvet turf, the heather purpled all the hillsides, and, on the gray rocks below, the long waves shouted aloud because they were free." This is the slope below "BEAUMANOIR," looking into PORT ES SAIES. BRECQHOU FROM THE SOUTH. "I looked across at BRECQHOU as I came in sight of the Western Waters." This shows BRECQHOU from the south. The dark gash near the head is THE PIRATES' CAVE. The island behind BRECQHOU is HERM. The end of JETHOU just shows on the left. GUERNSEY lies beyond them. THE COUPEE. Leading from SARK to LITTLE SARK. At the time of the story, the path was much narrower than now, there were no supporting walls, and it was continually breaking away. The pinnacles of the buttresses were also much higher. The Island to the left is LE TAS or L'ETAC. THE CHASM OF THE BOUTIQUES. "The tide was still churning among its slabs and boulders." THE WATER CAVE. "The roof and walls were studded with anemones of every size and colour." EPERQUERIE BAY. Showing the bluff from which the men of SARK fired down on the men of HERM as they landed the boats. DIXCART BAY. Where the Herm men landed, is in the centre of the picture, right below the ruined mill on HOG'S BACK. The straight-walled cliff on the right of the bay is where the Sark men took their stand. The out-stretching point on the right is DERRIBLE. CREUX TUNNEL. Cut by Helier de Carteret in 1588 as an entrance to the Island. Here PHIL fought the Herm men single-handed.
